The BBC denied they had altered the hat but then admitted the BBCs “excellent,hardworking) graphics team … had the contrast increased & … colour treated) but it was only accidental (not!) that he was made to look as Leninesque as
Topics:
Mike Norman considers the following as important: democracy, EU, group think, journalistic propaganda, Neoliberalism, Pete Peterson, technocracy, thought collective
